Job summary

LINQ seeks an Associate Product Manager to drive execution in a defined product area, translating requirements into user stories and ensuring steady delivery.

You’ll work with engineering, QA, design, and customer success to groom the backlog, plan sprints, and support launches in a regulated K-12 domain.

We value cross-functional collaboration, clear communication, and curiosity about technology, with a focus on enabling districts to do more with less.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional experience with cross-functional collaboration.
• Structured problem-solver who can break a messy problem into parts and think through tradeoffs.
• Clear communicator, written and verbal, across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Curious about technology and how software products are built; you don’t need to code but you learn technical concepts.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and willing to ask questions rather than assume.

Responsibilities

• Participate in discovery and requirements gathering through customer interviews, support trend analysis, and synthesis of qualitative and quantitative feedback.
• Write clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and documentation for features within your product line.
• Maintain a healthy product backlog — grooming tickets, tracking sprint status, and communicating progress across stakeholders.
• Partner with engineering, QA, design, and customer success to ensure shared understanding and smooth handoffs during development.
• Participate in sprint planning, retrospectives, and sprint reviews as an active contributor to delivery.
• Support product launches, including release notes, internal enablement materials, and post-launch monitoring.
• Monitor customer feedback and surface patterns to your manager to inform roadmap decisions.
• Develop deep domain knowledge of your product line — customers, workflows, pain points, and the competitive landscape.
